How long should white widow veg?

How many weeks should I allow White Widow to remain in the vegetative phase?
Any info on growing the particular strain would be appreciated.

what you got for a light that's what will determine how long.

this is a copy of Joey weeds instructions:

"Veg for 4 to 8 weeks and then flower for 8 to 10 weeks. It can grow tall so top it or bend it in veg to keep it short indoors. It like lots of light and medium ferts, heavier in late flower."

usin 23w cfl right now

How do you bend it?
What would you use to do that?

Tie a piece of soft string or rope to a hole in the edge of your pot, loop that over your stem about a third of the way from the top, pull the string till the stem is bent horizontal. In a day the top and all the side shoots will be growing vertical again.

You are going to need more light to properly grow sativas. With ?FLs, you are better off sti?king to Indi?a plants.

I'm up to 97w right now. I got a 24in.75w Flourescent grow light, along with the 23wcfl

is that 75 watts actual or equivalent. Your a long way from necessary for more than one dwarfed plant

You can veg whenever, its just a matter of how much do you want to yeild. And yes you need more lights

Hey dude, I found paper clips work pretty good. You can bend them into the shape you want, break off the excess and push it directly into the soil.

-couldn't find and string.
good tip though, haven't seen or heard anyone mention bending the plant when it stretches.

For one plant, how many watts would you use?

you'd have to have tiny plants for that to work. I'm talking about 2+ footers growing into a low light.

I veged my WW too long and had to bend it during flowering...it's not very hard. (I was at 4 feet during flower)

Oh yeah? I topped my plant thats flowering at a foot. I'll see what happens. I'll post you a picture of the set up later and see what you think.

Hell yeah, thats pretty sweet dude, I may be able to keep my plant in the same spot instead of moving it as it gets bigger while flowering.
That's a pretty cool technique to know, I just found out about it.

For 1 plant, 4 or 5. I would use 4 2700k and 1 6500k to mix up the spectrum alittle. 23- 26 watt bulbs should be fine.

Here's my plant.
I think it's preflowering
